surley this has been asked and answered already elsewhere on the forum but i couldnt find it:

ok, so i'm a leaf floating on thru the rainbow (in track 3)...but i sure have a hard time visualizing floating thru purple and violet cuz i dont know the difference! is purple closer to magenta and violet closer to indigo? or the other way 'round?

funny, i oughta know this.. i used to be an art major before i switched to anthropology.

love to all!!

Good morning Joycie

I'm sure you have found your answer by now, I was going to guess that violet was closer to magenta and purple is darker.

That's how I picture it in my mind anyway...

I was an A+ art student, a few years ago and I am diggin' waaaay back in the 'ol memory files..

We have a few things in common

I adored my anthropolgy class....A+ there too

Hugs,
Anne

P.S.

I love floating through the rainbow ! That's a sure thing technique for me

George hit 'er on the nose with that one

Hugs,
Anne

Hello Anne!

According to the links, i have found that purple is the one closer to magenta with violet having more blue tones. i just wanted to be sure so i could be floating thru the "most spiritual of colors" last, as it should be. i love floating thru the rainbow, too!! i love color. even though i am 31 now, i still sit down and just color when i have free time, whether it be mandalas or these really cute little books called "elf-helf". coloring makes me happy and peaceful. if i could find a career that mixed art with anthro for when my daughter is ready for school and i go to work, i'd be all set! i was thinking teaching children about different cultures of the world by teaching about their art, dance, food, etc. Of course then i would have to start my own business...maybe someday.

thats awesome that we have the some of the same interests. maybe more!

so, are you a feather or a leaf? i'm a leaf.

love,
joyce

Oops, I had it backwards....

I'm a feather, actually I'm riding on the feather, laying on it comfortably like I would on a comfy soft bed

Reaching out and touching the colors is nice but when I breath them in, woohoo that's what really "puts me under"

i was thinking teaching children about different cultures of the world by teaching about their art, dance, food, etc. Of course then i would have to start my own business...maybe someday.

That sounds like such a one-derful plan sis, I think you would make a great teacher

I sure hope that my daughter will be lucky enough one day to have a teacher like you

Hugs,
Anne

thanks so much, anne!! i guess i will need my teaching degree first, my degree is in anthro.....all in time, i suppose....

by the way, great idea about floating On a feather... probably easier to viualize than to visualize actually being a feather/leaf.

happy friday!

luv,
joycie
